Eviva España - Decap Organ - German Museum of Musical Automata Bruchsal

Original song by Samantha. This dance organ from 1938 was built in Antwerp by the Decap brothers. Sadly, at the time of this recording, the accordeons didn't function. Some information from the museum's catalog: "At the end of the 19th century, large dance halls in Belgium were equipped with large fairground organs. Among others, Decap and the Mortier company further developed these organs into special mobile dance organs. While the era of mechanical organs and orchestrions generally came to an end in the 1930s, the Belgians were able to continue successfully producing organs controlled by cardboard bands. The facade and sound of the organs were adapted to the tastes of the time. Characteristic of these organs from around 1933 were accordions and saxophones, which not only decorated the facade, but could mostly actually be played via the bellows. To this day, the company Gebr. Decap still remains in family hands."
